I work in a business that is almost entirely MS based and we have recently gone ahead with a project that incorporates a couple of Sun Servers (V880s). <br/><br/>One of the things tasked to me is to identify what things we might need to know from a Solaris Server. Of course hardware issues is one of the things that springs to mind. I know of the grief Stuart has had with the Sun Hardware KM (from a previous life of mine), so I am interested in trying to find out what others have done and where they got the required info from.<br/><br/>My choices of how to get the data are<br/> A) Log files (/var/adm/messages)<br/> B) Via custom KM<br/><br/>If I was to go via the /var/adm/messages file I need a starting point as to what I would be looking for in there... Anyone have any pointers?<br/><br/>If I went the custom KM route... I see a number of these posts mention talking via SNMP to the server to get stuff. As a Solaris newbie.. would an SNMP agent be something that is likley to be installed by default or do we need to add something else on the box before I can get this info? Also, is there a MIB to trawl through to find out what is available... or has some kind soul already don ethis piece of work to identify OIDs?<br/><br/></span><!--[CodeBlockEnd:22f4b787-d5de-4e67-8631-2b613ea0dce0]-->Cheers</p></div><!-- [DocumentBodyEnd:2ac8a1a7-8615-4d27-8c4d-c8acdd2c7026] -->Wed, 23 Jul 2003 08:24:00 GMTforums@developer.bmc.comhttps://communities.bmc.com/message/32539?tstart=0#325392003-07-23T08:24:00Z11 years 8 months ago0https://communities.bmc.com/message/32538?tstart=0#32538
